audiokonverter is a service menu (and also a commandline utility) to easily convert from MP3, OGG, AMR, AAC, M4A, FLAC, WMA, RealAudio, Musepack, Wavpack, WAV and movies to MP3, OGG, M4A, WAV and FLAC in Konqueror by right-clicking on them. It needs ffmpeg/avconv, oggenc, oggdec, faac, faad, flac, mplayer and lame to work. id3lib is optional for full functionality. Also optional are vorbis-tools and metaflac for handling other metadata. See README how/where to get that software.
Be sure about needed software when installing prebuilt packages!

Please vote for "good" if you like the program. There are many downloads with each release, but only a few votes.

Delete all "#" there, make one before "kdialog" and save the file.

Then you can do "audioconvert -t f filename.ape".
I want to keep audiokonverter simple and sensible. It is not easy to add ape files to the servicemenu, because the mimetype is different in every distro. Probably it is not even existing in most distros, because the software to use it is not free.

Excellent add-on

audiokonverter for KDE-3x and KDE-4x is an excellent add-on.
On Mandriva 2009.1 x86_64 with KDE-3, 'install.sh' (from the tarball provided) even looks for $KDEDIR and let me graphically choose where it is (/opt/kde3) :-)
install script eventualy let me know which programs or libs it needs to provides full functionalities: id3 id3v2 id3lib in this location.

Is it free software?

one little audioconvert bug

Hi,

Thanks for the nice tool. There is one little bug, though: in line 743 the script calls itself with the name "audioconvert" which should be changed to the new "audioconvert4" otherwise it will not be found.

The same change should be applied to the usage text. And it would be nice to mention that wildcards may be used, or maybe even add some example like this:

"audioconvert4 -dontask *" will convert all audio files in the current directory into MP3 and place them in the default $encdir directory.

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
